The Rays designated catcher Nevin Ashley for assignment to create roster space for Luke Scott, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets. The team's 40-man roster remains full.
Ashley, 27, posted a .263/.358/.384 line in 444 plate appearances for the Rays' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates in 2011. The 2006 sixth rounder has a .260/.353/.378 line in parts of six pro seasons. However, he was behind Jose Molina, Robinson Chirinos and Jose Lobaton on the Rays' depth chart.
Further proof that Friedman is a genius
Awww š Nevin had such a good season last year.
Nevin is a great kid. He went to my high school. Wish a team would pick him up so he could play
